A Killer's Game

Daniela Vega, Book 1

De: Isabella Maldonado

Narrado por: Almarie Guerra, Feodor Chin

An FBI agent with a background in cryptography. A brilliant game maker bent on revenge. A deadly battle of wits and wills. An ingenious thriller from the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Cipher.

FBI agent and former military codebreaker Daniela “Dani” Vega witnesses a murder on a Manhattan sidewalk. The victim is chief of staff for a powerful New York senator. The assassin turned informant is Gustavo Toro. His code: hit the target and don’t ask questions. When Dani suspects a complex conspiracy, the only way to take down the mastermind is from the inside, forcing her to partner with Toro. Together they must infiltrate the inner circle at a remote facility.

Except it’s a trap. For all of them.

Locked in a subterranean labyrinth and held captive by an unseen host, Dani, Toro, and others must fight for their lives. Now Dani must stay undercover, unravel a bizarre conspiracy, and survive lethal puzzles. But will Toro be friend or foe? Because in this killer’s game, everything is real: the paranoia, the desperation, and the body count. And only one person can make it out alive.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin bring this fast-paced thriller to life. Guerra tells the story from the point of view of Dani Vega, an FBI agent whose undercover assignment to infiltrate a band of assassins goes terribly awry.… Chin voices Nemesis and the team members as they set out on a race against time to save Dani. Chin's characterization of Nemesis is particularly strong; his voice sounds slightly altered, the significance of which becomes apparent as the plot unfolds and races to its conclusion.”—AudioFile Magazine

“…virtually brought to life by the truly exceptional narrative storytelling skills of Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin…an unreservedly recommended pick.”—Midwest Book Review

“…Maldonado keeps the plot boiling and the bodies dropping to the end.”—Kirkus Reviews

Pure bubble gum

A competently told, fast-paced narrative perfectly suited for your morning commute. There isn’t much depth to the story, but it’s entertaining.

Loved it!

Great story! I love the bad ass soldier! Looking forward to more books about Daniela!!

Gripping and couldn't put it down.

GREAT BOOK END TO END EXCITEMENT!!

Great book!! End to end excitement!! Like watching a movie, I couldn’t stop listening!! Definitely recommend!!!!

Loved every bit of this Audible book

Narration was wonderful. Storyline was unusual and great. Very well written book. Lots of heart. Plenty of problem-solving skill. Loved it.

Great story, action and plot

Excellent. I couldn’t stop listening. Draws you in and keeps your attention. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Wild Ride!

First let me say Isabella Maldonado is at the top of my favorite suspense thriller authors list. All of Maldonado's books are fascinating, and this one is a wild roller-coaster ride from minute one. Intrigue, super smart, a relevant plot, villains you love to hate, best of all a kick-ass female lead--this first book of a new series is one I will continue, without a doubt.

Not an easy listen

one of the male narrators is flat. Takes away from story. I don't think I would hv purchased if I heard it before I made the selection

This is great book!!

I love to read about badass women who can take care of themselves and help other people. It kept me interested from start to finish. I highly recommend it.

Action-packed FBI thriller!

I was trying to complete the 2023 Summer Kindle Challenge and one of the challenges was reading a book for Hispanic Heritage Month, A Killer’s Game happened to be on the list of books that would complete the challenge and by coincidence I had the book in my library, so A Killer’s Game became my introduction to Isabella Maldonado’s writing/story telling. I enjoy well-written law enforcement related thrillers and this book certainly filled that bill. Daniela Vega is a very well-developed character with plenty of baggage but enough fortitude to do whatever it takes to get the job done. The overall story is well laid out and very entertaining – especially since I was able to get the audiobook for a reasonable price and was able to listen to Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin do an excellent job narrating this story. I enjoyed it enough to preorder the second book in this series and to pick up both the Kindle and audible copies of the first book in Isabella’s Nina Guerrera series. I guess after reading The Cypher I’ll have to decide which of these characters is my favorite.
